Summary:
"A DEFA production. Berlin, the beginning of the 1950s. Two boys from West Berlin dream of a career in boxing, but they don't have the money for the expensive boxing gloves. While visiting Circus Barley in East Berlin, they get to know the girl Helli. During a pause in the action, they visit the animal show. They witness the birth of a foal and recognize the animal keeper as a man they've seen go in and out of a seedy bar in West Berlin, in which the boys earn a few pennies. It's there that they overhear the owner planning to steal horses from Circus Barley. They pass on this information to the East Berlin police. Thanks to them, the planned theft is stopped in its tracks and Barley's elephant Jumbo hands over the long-desired boxing gloves to them in the ring."--rarefilmsandmore.com
